Use Of Wipes In Restaurants And Food Service

Foodservice Wipers and tissues have many uses in the food industry. In a restaurant setting, use wipes behind the bar, wait staff, and in the kitchen—plus, they're a jan/san staple.

In the kitchen, surfaces need to be cleaned and disinfected quickly to ensure a quick turnaround. Woven wipes can attach to moisture and bacteria. Alternatively, staff can use wipes to quickly clean an area and then safely dispose of the wipes without worrying about lingering germs.

At the front of the house, a quick turnaround is also important to prevent customers from getting impatient and leaving while waiting for a clean table. Strong wipes that can handle sanitizers and sanitizers are great for quickly wiping down food stains and cleaning dirty tables. Super-absorbent wipes are essential for dealing with spills, and super-strong wipes that can handle broken glass can save bar staff from cutting their fingers.

Paper and non-woven materials are also great alternatives to linen napkins, as they can cut down on high laundry bills in restaurants. Some restaurants spend over $200,000 to clean their sheets, so anything that can lower that cost is welcome. Also, disposing of used napkins helps maintain hygiene.

Of course, hand washing has always been important in the food industry, but it has never been more important since the recent pandemic. With that in mind, traditional cloth towels, which may be shared by dozens of kitchen workers, don't meet the stringent hygiene standards expected by the food industry and its customers. This makes paper towels a "must have" for drying hands quickly and safely.
